Sometime around the middle of the 14th century, the noun "carecter" was coined to designate a symbol that was marked or branded on the body. During the mid-15th century, it came to mean a symbol or drawing used in sorcery. The meaning was passed along by metaphor during ancient times to "a defining quality". During the 1640s, this meaning was expanded to "the sum of qualities that defines a person". The 1660s brought the first attestation as "a person in a play or novel". In 1749, another meaning; "a person" in the abstract. It was first used to define an "eccentric person" in 1773. The colloquial sense of a chap or a fellow came along in 1931. "Character actor" is from 1861, while "character assassination" is from 1888, "character-building" (n.) is from 1886.
